𝘼𝘾 🏕️
November 28, 2024, Capela de Nossa Senhora das Neves (Ruínas)

At this location at the top of the Serra de Montejunto, also known as "Torre" due to the various antennas that were installed there, is the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, which may have been built in the 13th century and remodelled and expanded during the 16th century and later. Inside, the altars covered with 17th century tiles and the altarpiece of the main altar, from the 18th century, stand out. Next to the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows, are the ruins of what is considered to be the first Dominican Convent in Portugal, built in the 12th century and abandoned after the extinction of the religious orders, and is currently in ruins. Also nearby are the ruins of the Royal Ice Factory, classified as a National Monument. Here, in the 18th century, the Dominican monks took advantage of the climatic and geological conditions and opened large tanks connected by narrow passages, one part for the production of ice and the other for its preparation, storage and conservation. The ice was later transported to Lisbon, to supply the court and the café at Terreiro do Paço, later known as Martinho da Arcada (Fernando Pessoa's Café)

The karst landscape of Montejunto, in the extreme southwest of the Estremenho Limestone Massif, displays deep valleys, lages, gravel pits and lapiás, formed by aquatic erosion over geological eras. Freezing of water in rock fissures results in gravel deposits.

Castro de Pragança, located in Serra de Montejunto, is an archaeological site occupied from the Neolithic period to the Roman period. Discovered in 1893, its study revealed traces from various eras. Its archaeological collection is distributed across several national museums and, despite several excavation campaigns and studies, the Castro is currently in a state of abandonment. Its fortifications date back to the first half of the 3rd millennium BC, and the materials found include weights and metallic artefacts, indicating a prolonged and complex occupation.
